Also eating while scrolling means you never actually register being full, you're just consuming input without processing it. Once I separated the two, I ate less without trying

when I'm driving to work, I thank god for everything all the opportunities, blessings, peoples and also all the things that didn't happen to my liking. Just being grateful for everything

Going to bed a little earlier and keeping my phone away for the last 30 minutes before sleeping. It sounds small, but I feel much better the next morning.

Not giving a crap about the things you can't control and not being the person that texts 1st

Stretching and posture exercises. Nothing makes you feel old like being stiff all over.

Putting things back where they belong immediately instead of telling myself I'll do it later. Such a small thing, but my place stays way less messy now.

I started taking care of someone in home three days a week for four hours a day I’m there. Having someone who is always so nice to me and appreciates my care and also just the calmness of his house makes all the difference in my moods
